Summary:

Garveyism was carried across the globe following the First World War, generating the largest mass movement in the history of the African diaspora. Throughout Africa and Europe, the Americas and Oceania, the ideas and praxis of Jamaican activist Marcus Garvey and his followers sparked anti-colonial and anti-racist mobilizations, both within Garvey's organization, the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and without. This volume showcases original essays by scholars working in Africa, the West Indies, the Hispanic Caribbean, North America, and Australia.
